Winnipeg vs New Jersey Prediction 11 November 2026
🔊 Not long ago, the Winnipeg Jets were stuck in a losing streak; now they have won three straight. In their last game against Tampa, the Jets nearly let a three-goal lead slip away but rescued the win with a second left on the clock. Things are going even better for the New Jersey Devils: five straight wins and nine victories in their last ten games. The Jets beat the Devils twice last season, but the visitors clearly have an answer this time. It will be especially interesting to see how the hosts handle an offence that has regularly come through for New Jersey lately.
Twice by 4-3
📊 In last season’s regular season, the Winnipeg Jets won both games against the New Jersey Devils by the same 4:3 score. Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Vilardi played key roles in the home game, while in Newark the Devils tried to come back through Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt. Both times, the Jets had to hold on to a one-goal lead. These teams rarely combine for just a few goals: they scored at least seven in five of their last seven meetings. With both teams on winning streaks, there’s interest not only in who wins, but also in how many goals the game produces.
Head-to-head statistics Winnipeg - New Jersey
From nine defeats to three wins
Winnipeg have finally emerged from a prolonged slump. After nine straight losses, Scott Arniel’s team beat Montreal, Vancouver and Tampa, scoring at least four goals in each game. Their special teams have improved noticeably. Their power-play efficiency this season is 21.8%, but the Jets converted three power plays in their last game. Mark Scheifele recorded two points in each of the three wins. The lineup problems remain, though: Morrissey, Namestnikov, Bjugstad and Salomonsson will not play.
At home against Tampa, Winnipeg controlled the game for a long stretch. Cole Perfetti opened the scoring on the power play, Morgan Barron doubled the lead, and Brayden Yager scored his first NHL goal in the third period. At (3:0), it seemed the game was settled. But the Lightning responded with three goals, including two from Pontus Holmberg in 26 seconds. The winner came just before the final buzzer: Winnipeg went on a two-man advantage, and Scheifele scored with one second left in regulation. The final score was (4:3), with Winnipeg converting three power plays and killing off four Tampa power plays.
Match Results: Winnipeg Jets
Five wins and Hughes takes centre stage
New Jersey have 26 points from 18 games, with 13 wins. Sheldon Keefe’s team have won nine of their last ten games and are now on a five-game winning streak. Jack Hughes has been the key player over that stretch. The forward recorded nine points in four games and was named the NHL’s second star of the week. He has 25 points overall (9+16), including at least two points in each of his last five games. The Devils have converted 19.3% of their power-play opportunities, and the injured Casey and Mantha will miss their next game.
The most recent game against Toronto was nothing like their previous high-scoring wins. New Jersey played patiently, did not force the pace and waited for an opponent’s mistake in the second period. After Nico Hischier won a faceoff, Timo Meier took a pass and opened the scoring, ending a nine-game goal drought. He added a second goal later, while Hischier finished with a goal and an assist. Connor Brown completed the scoring with an empty-net goal. The Devils won (4:0), and Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 21 shots for a shutout.

First-Period Prediction
The New Jersey Devils have scored in the first period in 6 of their last 7 NHL road games. They average 0.88 goals in the first period on the road, while the Winnipeg Jets allow 1.13 at home. We pick New Jersey Devils first-period team total over 0.5 goals at odds of 1.47.
Prediction on the Result
The New Jersey Devils have not lost in regulation in 9 of their last 10 NHL games. Winnipeg have 7 wins this season, compared with 13 for New Jersey. However, Winnipeg have not lost in regulation in 16 of their last 18 home games against New Jersey, so the head-to-head record remains a significant counterargument. Our pick is New Jersey Devils not to lose in regulation at odds of 1.42.
Total Goals Prediction
Over 5.5 total goals has landed in 7 of the New Jersey Devils’ last 8 road games. More than 6.5 goals have been scored in each of the Winnipeg Jets’ last six games; at home, they average 3.13 goals scored and 3.25 goals allowed. We pick match total over 5.5 goals at odds of 1.7.
Reliable Bet
Winnipeg Jets have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in the first period in 12 of their last 14 home NHL games. They average 0.75 goals in the first period at home. We pick Winnipeg Jets first-period team total under 1.5 goals at odds of 1.21.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils both come into this game on winning streaks, but the main point here is the number of goals. After a prolonged slump, the Jets have scored 15 goals in three games, though they have also allowed nine. Devils road games rarely lack goals either: they average 6.5 goals per game. Their head-to-head record offers another argument: the teams have combined for at least seven goals in five of their last seven meetings. There have also been 21 goals in Winnipeg's last three home games. Given how active both teams have been offensively, I expect that trend to continue. My pick is - over 5.5 total goals.
